Lower skull consists of: articulars (2), prearticulars (2), angulars (2), surangulars (2 - both damaged by crushing), coronoids (2 - L missing posterior articulation surface), splenials (2), dentaries (2).
1 part of the left frontal was previously incorrectly allocated to specimen V969, but it clearly fits into a gap, but for old Araldite around the break surfaces.
Identified as *Metriorhynchus superciliosus* species, rather than just *Metriorhynchus sp.*.
Parts of this specimen (allegedly!) formerly on loan to David Brown (University of Newcastle).
